This product is fantastic for tempering one's response to stress
I purchased the natures way licorice root to help with adrenal fatigue. This product is fantastic for tempering one's response to stress. After a major life change I found myself experiencing a fight-or-flight mindset most days and getting angry at strangers. Now that I take licorice root daily, I'm more clear-headed and simple things that used to make me mad are easier to let go, or even ignore. Licorice root is *not* an antidepressant nor does it numb you, it just prevents your adrenal system from driving you to extremes. One interesting discovery: I am particularly sensitive to caffeine as I don't consume it daily. I have found that when I do have tea or soda, I'm likely to be moody later in the day. The licorice root seems to prevent the moodiness without counteracting the stimulant effect of the caffeine.
